party party!

The other weekend, we celebrated my uncle's 59th [60th] birthday. According to my aunt, we should celebrate his 60th birthday THIS year because that's his age according to the Chinese calendar. Any reason to celebrate is reason for me!

We had a relatively good sized party with some of his friends from church, Lion's Club, ToastMasters, and family at East Ocean in Emeryville. A delicious dinner with a slide show, speeches, laughs, and tears.

I got commissioned to make the party favors. Mom bought a bunch of Ghirardelli chocolate bars and the rest was up to me.

Call me a nerd, crazy, stupid, or weird, but I love logos and fonts. Anything having to do with either one of those. I recreated the Ghirardelli logo and wrapper and made it specific for my uncle. I love the tediousness of figuring out logos, as well as cutting everything out with my X-acto knife.


I think it turned out pretty well - as always there are a lot of things I'd like to fix on and what not.

V was the resident photographer of the night, but I happened to catch a picture of her w/ my baby [Nikon D70].

Sometimes I wish I were more serious about photography and really be knowledgeable about the field. It'd be fun to retake all my photography classes again.

Happy Birthday, Uncle!
